To all whom it may Be it known that concern:

I, GEORGE Henson, a citizen of the United States,

residing at Marinette, in the county of Marinette and State of WVisconsin, h useful Improvements ave invented new and in Attachments for Windows, of which the following is a specification.

This invention comprehends the provision of a window support designed to be positioned in the guideway of the window sash,

to support the latter in any position and convenie is desired to closethe In carrying out the invention, a cam-like member which desired opened ntly removed when it window.

I employ has associated therewith means for engaging said frame so that the support in its entirety can be conveniently arranged tion on the window at any particular locaframe beneath the window sash to support the latter in an opened position, the cam-like member being pivoted on the frame engaginglmeans so as to bind or impinge between t e parting strip and the window frame to support the window.

The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understood when the following detailed description is read in con, nection with the accompanying drawing,

the invention residing in the construction,

combination, and arrangement of parts as claimed.

In the drawing for plication,

ming part of this aplike numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, and

wherein Figure 1 is'a view of supporting the window in accordance wlth the present invention.

indicates the window frame, B the window sash, and .C the parting strip.

The support formin g the subject matter of the present invention comprises a camshaped element 10 in the guideway for adapted to engage the parting strip designed to be positioned the window sash, and C and the opposed portion of the window casing in a manner to suppo on opened position.

rt the window sash in This cam-shaped element has associated therewith a member designed to engage and slide upon the window casing, the cam-shaped element being pivoted I upon the member indicated at 11. This member 11 terminates at one end'to provide a hook-like portion 12 which is adapted to engage the window casing in a manner illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, while the opposite end of the member is offset as at 13, constituting a pivot for the cam-shaped element 10' through which-it is passed. Also projecting from one side of the cam-shaped element 10 is a handle 14: by means of which 7 the device 'in' its entirety can be conven- "ient-ly handled.

this manner, the cam-shaped element is held immovable within the guideway to support the window which ,reposes upon the cams shaped element as shown, the weight of the window causing the cam-shaped element to more effectively grip or engage thewindow casing and parting strip for the purpose stated. The device in its entirety is very simple in construction, and can be manufactured and sold at a very nominal cost. r

1 While it is believed that from the foregoing description, the nature and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent, I desire to have it understood that I do not limit myself to what. is herein shown and described, and that such changes may be resorted to when desired as fall within the scope of what is claimed.

What I claim is:

1. A window support comprising a camshaped element adapted to be arranged in the guideway of the window, a hook-like member associated with said element and adapted to slidably engage the parting strip, one terminal of said member being offset and constituting apivot for said camshaped element, and a handle projecting from said elementfor the purpose specified.

2. A Window support comprising a cam clamp being susceptible of vertical adjustl0 shaped element adapted to be positioned in ment along the parting strip so that the the guideway for the Window sash in'en- Window can be supported in any adjusted gagement with the parting strip, and a subposition, and a handle projecting from the stantially U-shaped clamp adapted to emcam shaped element whereby the latter can brace said parting strip to support said cam be conveniently manipulated. 15 shaped element in position for use, one limb In testimony whereof I aflix my signaof said clamp constituting a pivot on which ture. the cam shaped element is mounted, said I GEORGE HUDSON.
